Last month, Deadspin’s Emma Carmichael asked a bunch of us who we considered the “Most Annoying Men of March Madness.” I went with that jitbag David Barrett and his jitbag “One Shining Moment” song. Among the reasons why: “Hearts on Fire” in the Rocky IV training montage. “Change” when Louden Swain’s pegboard performance convinces everyone…
Deadspin’s story exposing the fraud tale of Manti Te’o “dead girlfriend” is proof positive that journalism can still thrive in this print-media end-stages time. The Taiwanese animation story about it is proof positive that Taiwanese animation absolutely rules.
As if neither Tynan/Joseph Moron-gate nor Ruggles talking about girth and size was enough, an astute Deadspin reader* sent this screengrab of 6abc weatherlady Cecily Tynan’s head blocking the tip of a Hurricane Sandy Telestrator Dong. Bravo. (*= Deadspin’s still down, and could be so for a little while, so I’m sure there won’t be…
Man, you get so distracted by a hurricane hitting for former, formerer and current hometown and you miss the fact that Deadspin is down! Well me being me, knowing that some folks like to see some street fights on their Tuesday nights, here are a couple to hold you over until the Gawker family gets…
Before you say anything, no, the irony of something which would warrant inclusion on my weekly Tuesday Night Fights post for Deadspin happening to someone I know is not lost on me. To wit: Police release video of SEPTA bus attack of NewsWorks photographer Philadelphia Police released video from a SEPTA Route 23 bus on…

The one where there are three people sitting around a table and, apparently, breaking open a captive monkey’s head to dine on the insides. “Cauliflower for the…
Fresh off of the heels of the fuckface from dirt hovel Cleveland who responded to my Twitter treatment of Ben Roethlisberger with getting-hit-by-a-car comments comes Matt Hayes (mattyhayes@gmail.com). You see, Matty took exception to comments about shitstain-of-a-city Baltimore in my sliver of the A.J. Daulerio roast on Deadspin the other day. But Matty has problems…
Emma Carmichael is a great writer. The Gathering of the Juggalos is among the most absurd events on earth. With that, I present this: The Gathering of the Juggalos is not called the Gathering of the Juggalos and also the Juggalettes for a reason. It is not just predominantly male; it is teeming with males.…
• The NHL, which has seen an average of 75 concussions in each of the last four years, had long talked about curbing head shots, but two incidents last season were catalysts: Philadelphia’s Mike Richards’s hit on Florida’s David Booth and Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke’s blow to Boston’s Marc Savard.
